Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 225 grams rolled oats or oat flour
- 3 ripe bananas about 300–350 g/8-10 oz
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 80 grams raisins soaked
Equipment
- 25 cm (10-inch) loaf pan
Instructions
- If using rolled oats, grind them into a fine flour using a blender or food processor.
- Mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Add the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined. Fold in the soaked raisins.
- Pour the batter into a greased and lightly floured loaf pan (or one lined with parchment paper). Spread the batter evenly.
- If you'd like, slice an extra banana lengthwise and place it on top of the batter, or sprinkle a handful of rolled oats over the top for decoration.
- Bake at 180°C/356°F (conventional oven) for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips
For extra flavor, stir 2 tsp speculaas spice blend (Dutch mixed spice) or 1 tbsp ground cinnamon into the batter along with the dry ingredients.
How to store
Store covered at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. For easy grab-and-go snacks, slice the banana bread before freezing and wrap or freeze the slices individually. This way you'll always have a delicious snack ready to take with you.
